Job Description

Why Join Us n

At eShepherd, we're building technology that's changing the way farming works.

n

Our virtual fencing solution helps farmers manage livestock more efficiently, improve land use, and reduce environmental impact - all through a mobile app and connected devices.

n

We're part of Gallagher Group, which means we combine startup pace with the backing of a well-established global business.

What We Do n

We build practical, real-world technology used on farms every day - not just in ideal conditions, but in remote, low-connectivity environments where reliability matters.

n

Our mobile app is a critical part of that experience, giving farmers visibility and control in the field. As we scale globally, we're continuing to expand and improve what that app can do.

Your Role n

As a Mobile Software Engineer, you'll be building and improving features in our React Native app used across iOS and Android.

n

This isn't a purely junior, task-based role. You'll contribute to real features in a live product, working alongside experienced engineers while still owning your work end-to-end.

n

You'll help us deliver feature improvements, support growing usage, and build a product that performs well in real-world conditions.

The type of person we're looking for n

We're looking for an engineer who enjoys building things that are actually used - and is motivated by solving practical problems.

n

Someone who is comfortable learning on the job and improving as they go, rather than waiting to be 100% ready.

n

A team player who communicates well and works closely with product, QA, and other engineers.

n

A pragmatic thinker who values progress and delivery, not perfection.

n
